What are the coordinates of point P on the directed line segment from A to B such that P is One-fourth the length of the line segment from A to B? (StartFraction negative 29 Over 4 EndFraction , negative three-halves) (negative thirteen-fourths, one-half) (negative eleven-fourths, negative one-half) (twenty-five-fourths, negative one-half)

Option C is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The coordinates of the point A and B are (-5,-1) and (4,1)

The point P on the directed line segment from A to B such that P is One-fourth the length of the line segment from A to B.

Thus, we have;

m=1 and m+n=4

We need to determine the coordinates of the point P(x,y)

x - coordinates of the point P:

The x - coordinates of the point P can be determined using the formula

x=(m/m+n)(x₂ - x₁)+ x₁

Substituting the values, we get;

x= 1/4(4+5)-5

x = 9/4-5

x = -11/4

Thus, the x - coordinate of the point P is -11/4

y - coordinate of the point P:

The y - coordinate of the point P can be determined using the formula,

y=(m/m+n)(y₂ - y₁)+ y₁

Substituting the values, we get;

y= 1/4(1+1)-1

y = 2/4-1

y= -2/4

y= -1/2

Thus, the y - coordinate of the point P is -1/2

Therefore, the coordinates of the point P is (-11/4, -1/2)

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
